To elaborate from the twitch chat.and to mantain consistency they translated 魔力放出 as prana burst
That's fine.
Mew translated 魔力放出 as Power Burst in chaldeum.
I translate 魔力放出 as Magic Burst and 魔力 as magical energy.
The issue with calling 魔力 mana is that Mana has a specific meaning.
They probably called it Prana Burst because that's what everyone knows it as and don't want to reinvent the wheel or give the english fanbase something they're familiar with.
Because every saw what happened to Aksys.
Also I'm pretty sure the woman reading out the questions can't read japanese.
So there's no point posting runes in the chatbox unless you want to get laughed at.
There are also bigger issues than just tiny terms like that.

Though abandoned, forgotten, and scorned as out-of-date dolls, they continue to carry out their mission, unchanged from the time they were designed.
Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
Wow, never take Cu Chulainn to a concert.
Yeah the issue here is mana, something I noted I guess now hundred of pages before. I guess is just too hard or the world isn't ready to differentiate between magical energy, mana and od, even if it's important to the setting.
At least the Grand Order OVA used magical energy!
?
Not really, it's what happens when F/SN- where all this pre-existing terminology and mini encyclopedias'- isn't officially localized. They're localizing stuff without the main VN's knowledge to fall back on.

How is not when they use mana for a word that isn't mana while there's another word which is literally mana. Too many AoE terminology maybe? Command Seals, mana and I don't know what else.

Yeah, they could have gone with the safe route of sticking with Magical Energy all the way through.
I'm not gonna agonize over it.

I mean they used mages as well instead of magus
but like everyone in the english fanbase who started from Zero or UBW anime forward generally uses mages
because that's what the subs were
Even though it's legitly magus.
honestly it's not something to get up in arms about.
Like how they said they didn't like Moon Crunch because its pure engrish.
They're going to translate it how they like it, what makes sense to them and what they think their consumers will like while staying true to the story as much as possible.
sometimes stuff gets lost. translation is hard.
also these guys aren't hardcore TM lore nerds who have read everything.
I'm pretty sure none of the translators on BL have read everything either. I think Maz is pretty close though.

Also personally, Command Seals > Spells.
As a verb/noun, Spells doesn't make sense and/or is not appropriate. Magical incantations and/or inscribed letters on your body? What. Plus, those aren't letters, those are symbols.
As a verb/noun, Seals isn't appropriate either but it makes sense in context. They're marks on your hand and they're proof of the bond/link that connects/fastens to your Servant.

You should, spells and curses can take physical form. Command Spells have never bothered me in any way actually. Noble Phantasm in the other hand... but I'll take it.
"Only Saber possesses an Anti-Fortress Treasure Tool strong enough to defeat Caster."
I'm not, this will end up the same way you disparaged Raff for (on ANN).

oh that was Raff? I'm kind of an asshole, yeah. Sorry.
there was some stuff that made me go eehhhhhhh
but i'll wait for them to upload the video of the stream before saying anything

I know it's official, but just like Ray doesn't like spells that much, I have always thought NP sounds a bit weird but I'll take it because yeah it's just like that.
She's about to use her 「hougu」!
